Honeywell International Inc., headquartered in Morris Township, has agreed along with 23 other parties to the $78 million cleanup of a federal Superfund site in Bergen County that was built as a coal tar facility in the 1880s.

Honeywell and the 23 other companies are parties to a consent decree filed Monday in federal court, which requires the performance of pre-construction project design work and for Honeywell to carry out the actual cleanup work under the oversight of the Environmental Protection Agency, according to a statement from the U.S. Department of Justice.
